[NUGA] Re: Temperature fan / switch

Jeff

Don't know if this would work, but there are exhaust fans that can be
controlled. I honestly don't know what they're called. But if you go
to Home Depot or Lowes, I'm sure you could asked for a temperature
controlled fan. Might be able to MacGyver something together. I know
where I used to work, the "server room" was a broom closet and it need
an exhaust fan that was controlled by temperature, and they installed
one. But it was loud.
